ABOLITION Of the SLAVE TRADE, in AFRICA [FROM THE SIERRA LEONE GAZETTE.] " Permit me to send you the following faels for your insertion, which will tend to shew in what manner some of the natives of this country are posed to view the abolition of the slave trade. Since . it was made known in the neighbourhood of Goree; a quarrel took place between the King „Of Dame] and the Maraboos after several skirmishes the Ma- T aboos drove them back, and carried away with them from 500 to 1000 head of oh !tle, saying, that as there was 00 :,ale for slaves, they would not take their people, but that, as cattle could' be turned to advantage, they would take them. I had some con versarion' wit h a MPS) who took an active part against the Kir,cr of Daatel : he assured me that the, natives in theit neighbourhood had no intention of taking tny more prit•oliers, es they would not sell; but that the idea that those who might • unavoidably be taken, would be put to death, was quite erro- • nexus. " Mamaldoo Saani„ a powerful and intelligent Chief on the river Gambia, told me that he re gretted the abolilion himself, as. being the means of depriving him of some considerable emoluments, but that he believed, generally . speaking, -.it..i.sould be of great service to the country. One very strong reason he gave - was, that the want. ,of confidence in each other,-occasioned .by the kidnapping, or otherwise making slaves, oblig ed the natives tb be constantly 'alined, and every man to susped his brother ; but since the abo lition, they had already begun to lay aside their guns when they went out ; and he had no dOubt but in a short time they would clear away the woods tom about their towns that were then built ; and 64 in building new ones, they would have them in more exposed situations, and that he himself had altered his mind as to the place he had chosen to build a town , in, determining to build it now on the banks of the riser, and cut down all the woods near hint ;,and that he intended, as he knew many other nativesirlid, to attend as much as possible tocultiva tion, particularly cotton, which grows therein great abundance." • J.

BOW-StREET.---Yesterdgy morning e young man, of the name of Fow le, who - resides at Greenwich, applied at this Office, in eeesequence of the follow ingcircumstance :—He stated that his brother is a carpenter, and in the employ of Mr. Martyr, of Greenwich ; he left home on Thursday last, after dinner, as was supposed, to go to work,- but has not since been seen. On Sunday last his friends Kecartie. very uneasy about him, and every inquiry and search was made, and on Monday afternoon he went to the Tender to see if his brother had been pressed and taken there, but found be had not ; he then enquired of the.watermen at the stairs on both sides of the water below London-bridge, and in the evening he saw two young Men (watertnen), who, from the deScription he gave of his brother, said they had been in his company on the ThUrsday evening at a public-house at Greenwich, with three women, and gave him the address of two of "them in Hem lning's-row, St. Martin's 7 lanc, whither he went yesterday morning; they said they left Greenwich in a boat with his brother, but they all went on shore at Deptford-stairs; - and walked towards Lon don ;' that the woman who was with theth, and whose name was Jones, resided in Brewer-street, Golden-square ; that his brother stopped behind, and that they had not heard any more of them. He .then went to Jones, as directed -by the young woman. She corro a borated their statement exadly.. Her reason -tot leaving the young women was be cause she was so tired that she could not walk any further; that when she left them his brother went . with her into a boat to came to London ; that they had not been in the boat more than a quv.rter of an hour when he fell out; several boats put off from the shore to his assistance, but she was so lunch alarmed that she desired the waterman to take her on - shore. She said she made inquiries after the young man, and was told he was taken up, atat.. saved; but that she did not wait to see hint, as site Was in a hurry to get. home. Mr. NARES sent Clark, one.of the Patrole, to be- Sire her to come to the Office ; 'she then slued , sae:- ly what she had told the b.other of the ''.ail and, on being asked where she was put- ashore a:ter the young wan fell over ; she said - she did not kutr.v..; that she had been drinking more ti:Kin .Ite usualiy did; that she had been out all the day with the two young , ladies for a 'ulic.

The Defendant had recently built some houses in the neighbourhood of Titchfield-street, and in .(irder to get lid of some women of the town in Titchfield-street, placed there What is commonly known ' the name of a " Burn ing shame." A considerable. not took place on Monday night, a mob having assembled, the Defendant . led on another party in opposition to them.

Oon, Goal'], Kecf,.Taylor, and Micyar, Were charged on the oath of Mr. Robson, of the hotAe of Robson and Darnell, of Bermondsey, lea ther-dressers, with haying tonibined to demand of them an increase Of wages, contrary to the Statute. The fa&ls being proved, the masters offered, with the approbation of the Magistrates, to give an in demnity for the past, if the men would undertake to return to their work. Emmington accepted;the offer, but the other four standing out, were all committed, in pursuance of the . Statute, to the House of Corrthion tor Surrey, to be kept to hard labour for two months each. MANsioN-HousE.—Yesterday an unfortunate ma niac was secured by some of the LORD MATotes Of ficers,. at the 'Change : his hands and person. were covered with blood, as if he had recently committed some murder. The unfortunate man exhibited looks so wild and haggard, and was so fiercely fran tic, that he was not secured without some difficulty, He was conveyed to the Poultry Compter. The circumstances having been stated to the Lord Mayor, he ordered him to be kept in security until means can be devised to dispose of him in some re ceptacle for persons in his unhappy condition. An ill-fated Hibernian was very reluaantly brought before the Chief Magistrate, as the complainant in a case of dreadful assault and battery, against a cam tro' Briton, his fellow-labourer in the same building. The officer - who had interfered to rescue the com plainant from the furious attack of his antagonist, stated, that the Welchman, the superior by nearly half in bulk and strength, had knocked the Irish man down, and while prostrate brutally kicked-him on the face, breast, and rib's and not satisfied with this, seized him by the ears, and repeatedly knocked his head against the .pavement, in a manner that would have fractured any skull of less density. The objeB of this unmanly attack, though he ex hibited on his face and person the marks of his 'as sailant's .blows, yet said, With much simplicity and„ good-nature, he did not want'to prosecute the man, as he was sorry for what lie had done ;' that they had a drop of drink together, .and a little bit .of , quarrel broke out between them ; that may be he might be• as much in fault as the other, 'and he had ,no objec 7 tion to make it up. The Officer, however, had his coat torn in pieces -while endeavouring to secure the Prisoner, and for_ this he was obliged to make compensation, and was dismissed. Yesterday a journeyman painter, 'charged by his master with felony, a few days since, but. against whom the prosecution was withdrawn on - condition of his entering for his Majesty's service, was brought back from the tender whither he •had been sent yes terday by Alderman PR , lNs . zr,•having been rejected by the Regulating Captain as unfit for service. The Magistrate remanded him to prison, and or dered.notice to be given.to his master, in order that,. it he is so disposed, he,may follow up the prosecu tion.• YORK, ASSIZES. RAPE AND INCEST. Joseph Ingleson, of Mendwith, near Otley,in _the 1 West Riding, stood charged with the commission of a rape or. the person of his own daaghter, a girl fifteen years of age. Gracelngleson, the. unfortunate daughter of the Prisoner, stated, that on the 1 1 tit of July she went with her father to cut turf, at Radlish, a distance of six miles; that on their teturn, her father ,had thrown her down in the cart, and, notwithstanding her cries, had perpetrated the foul and unnatural crime of which he stood charged ; yet, when the question was pnt to her by the Judge, though she was almost convulsed with agony by the recitation of the transaelion, she asserted and persisted in it, in the face of her own evidence, and the repeated admonition of the Judge to speak the truth, that the crime was committed with her own consent, and that her father neither used violence nor threats • Every moment, while she was giving her evidence; she turned her ,eves towards her - father; with look, which, if he had any thing human about him, must have struck daggers to his soul.- A person of the name of Robert Hudson, deposed, that he saw the crime committed, but as he is en tirely deaf, he could not say whether the daughter cried out or not. The Judge, in his address to the Jury, aaid; whatever suspicions they might have, and however well-grounded those suspicions might be, that the unhappy 'Witness, Grace Jugleson, had, to save'a lather's suppressed a material part of the dread ful transaction ; yet as she had repeatedly declared upon her oath, that she was consenting to the great crirnt which had been committed, the Jury could not :,atel cor“ict the prisoner. 'the Jury accordingly returned a verdi& of Not Guiiiy. \Viten the Judge addressed the Prisoner in the following terms : Joseph - Ingieson; you have narrowly escaped paytilg. tire turlcit of your life to ate offended laws of yuur country. You are, there is too much rea son, w u believe, a very bad man ; and if you do not repress your wicked propensities, you will certainly terinioateyour lite at the gallows : you ought to be tor ever ashamed of yourself, and hide your lace from the view of your fellow-creatures." The Prisoner At:fitted the bar, amidst the general execraiiinis-of a crowded and indignant Court. Witham Wilson, of Morley, in the West was charged with stealing a piece of woollen ejoth, 46 yards in length, at the- Mixed Cloth Ha►l, at - Leeds, being the property of limn ilaiusworth. Mr. HEYWOOD opened the case, by stating, that this was a prosecution instituted by the Trustees of the Hall, to repress a practice,, which, be was sorry► to say, had of Lite much increased, that of stealing cloth from the Hail. lair. Isaac Haiusworth stated. .that be was a clo thier, and lived at Pudsey *attends the Leeds Cloth Hall, where he has a stand. He also stated, that previous to the 19th of July he had 14:tir pieces 7 91c0i beau-coloured cloth on his stand, one of .which been removed, and which he afterwards saw in the Committee-room of the Hall ; his piece had his name sewed in it, as is usual, and also his place oh' residence, but, hen he saw a in the Committee room, the name was picked out, with the exception of the letter R. and also his place of residence, with the exception of the letter U. •He was quite swe it was his cloth ; among other marks it had some shuttle-Inuit near the end, which he particularly remem.)ered. • John 'Siead, keeper of the Mixed Cloth Hall, was .next examined.

Witness asked him what business be had to pick out the mark ? Pri soner said it was to sow•it in again. Witness then asked -him what be should think it he took him be fore the Trustees ? Prisoner, in reply, said, he . hoped he would'not do so. • Witness said, it was contraryk to their laws for any manufadurer to pick out his name from his piece. The witness pro ceeded to state, that he took the piece to the where it was Identified by Isaac Hainsworth. DORSET ASSIZLS. C4l M. CON. NAILwAIN V. FINCH.

Though the Defendant had ailed so shainefully bad, stiii the Jury would tact give vindiCtive damages, —no such dainnges wcro known in law,: they: would, however,. look to the grievous injuries the Plaintiff's estate bad sudered, and would riot measure the damages too nicely. j - le had never known so gross an abuse of 3 firm, and he,trusted the Jury would not spare th' Detendaut, bat make him pay to the, 'flaw:A tar thing. The Jury I.vithdrew, and shortly returned, assess ing the damages at 2 1 71.• Gd. with costs. On his cross-examination, he said, the length of a stand was about 22 inches, and that the Manu faCturers, in shewing their cloth ; frequently en croached on each other, and that pieces were some times mislaid on a • wrong stand, which at times created some mistake; He said, he found two pieces of white cloth in the Hall belonging- to the Prisoner. Witness • produced the cloth in .Court, from which the Prisoner was picking the mark; it was examined by the Prosecutor, Hainsworth, who identified it as his property; and the same piece he id seen at the Committee Room, and one of the tour pieces he had 6n his stand previous to the 19th of.
